their long, narrow, spoon-shaped leaves. They are used largely for 
salads, and as such are highly esteemed. The quality is quite different

superior. Sow all during late spring and early summer. It thrives 
best during cool, moist weather. If large plants are desired, thin to 
8 to 10 inches in the row.
